Global Head of Training

• Own the strategy, standards, and operating model for how Wayve trains, certifies, and develops its on-road operational workforce across the UK, US, Germany, and Japan. • Cover Vehicle Safety Operators and the teams that support them. • Define the training architecture, build scalable curricula and certification pathways, and prove with data that training improves readiness, consistency, and safety. • Lead a small, globally distributed team of Regional Training Leads and Training Coordinators. • Translate a single global standard into training that works in each region’s operational reality. • Own the mechanism that turns operational insights, safety findings, and product changes into rapid training updates. • Take accountability for whether operators are truly ready before they go out on the road. • Work Monday to Friday overseeing a division that runs seven days a week, with on-call responsibilities at times. • Work hybrid from the London office.

• Bring significant leadership experience in training, capability development, operations enablement, or workforce readiness, ideally within autonomous systems, mobility, robotics, aviation, defence, logistics, or another safety-critical environment. • Bring proven experience building and leading structured training programmes across multiple sites, regions, or countries. • Design scalable onboarding, certification, and recurrent training frameworks for operational roles. • Translate operational, product, or safety requirements into practical training content, standards, and readiness criteria. • Use performance data, assessments, and operational insight to improve behaviour, consistency, and execution quality. • Work cross-functionally with Operations, Product, Safety, and other senior stakeholders to align training outcomes with business needs. • Lead managers or senior individual contributors and set direction for a globally distributed function. • Work analytically with training and performance data pipelines, converting insight into metrics, dashboards, and reporting. • Take on on-call responsibilities at times, and be based in London for this hybrid role.

• Bring experience in autonomous vehicles, transport, robotics, logistics, aviation, or defence. • Bring familiarity with certification, compliance record-keeping, and audit requirements in a regulated or safety-critical environment. • Bring experience managing a mixed workforce of contractors and full-time employees through a transition to full-time employment. • Apply even if you do not meet every requirement, as Wayve encourages people passionate about self-driving cars to get in touch. • Let Wayve know if you need any accommodations or adjustments to take part fully in the interview process.

• Own global training strategy, standards, and the operating model across all geographies. • Define the training architecture, covering scalable curricula, onboarding pathways, and certification frameworks for on-road and maintenance operational roles. • Own operational readiness, ensuring operators meet performance and safety thresholds before live on-road deployment. • Build and maintain the mechanism that converts product requirements and operational insights into rapid, targeted training updates. • Establish and own the metrics and reporting that prove training effectiveness, readiness, and adherence, using that data to prioritise interventions. • Manage and develop Regional Training Leads, holding them to a consistent global standard while enabling local adaptation. • Partner with Operations, Product, and Safety to align training outcomes with business and operational needs. • Own certification and compliance record-keeping standards globally, keeping them accurate and audit-ready. • Balance global standardisation with the flexibility to adapt delivery to regional, regulatory, and market context.

Wayve is one of the most exciting AI companies in the UK right now. They are tackling one of the hardest problems in technology, teaching machines to drive, and they are doing it with an approach that the rest of the industry is now converging towards. Backed by SoftBank, Microsoft, NVIDIA, Uber, Mercedes-Benz, Nissan, and Stellantis, Wayve has raised $2.8 billion in total funding and reached a valuation of $8.6 billion. With over 1,000 employees across London, Silicon Valley, Vancouver, Leonberg, Herzliya, and Tokyo, Wayve is scaling fast while keeping its London HQ at the centre. What stands out on Glassdoor (4.4/5 from 112+ reviews) is how consistently employees praise the culture, the calibre of colleagues, and the quality of the technical work. People describe it as some of the most interesting work of their careers. Wayve also offers an on-site chef, private healthcare, competitive pay with equity, and a genuine learning environment where you work alongside world-class ML researchers and engineers. That said, some reviews flag that the pace can be intense and that working across global time zones can stretch working hours. If you are an engineer, researcher, or operator who wants to work on genuinely frontier technology with real-world impact, and you thrive in fast-paced, mission-driven environments, Wayve is a rare opportunity.

• Build a global training function from the architecture up rather than inheriting one. • Lead a distributed team across four countries through Regional Training Leads. • Own readiness for the operators who put autonomous vehicles on public roads. • Prove training effectiveness with real performance data rather than assumptions. • Work hybrid, combining time in the London office with working from home. • Contribute to an inclusive environment that values diversity and new perspectives.
